I'm currently building up capital for future ventures and properties that I find on market, as well as attempting to find the best brokerage where I can work under an individual who is already more established.

It is our goal to provide all the tools, resources, education & coaching any individual needs to learn how to build a sustainable investment portfolio to achieve financial independence & generational wealth through real estate investing.It should be noted, that while the Academy is not a requirement to invest with RTR, the individuals that do join the Academy are much more successful long term since they have spent time to clearly develop their own individual investment strategy & plan!

However, some investors are fine with this strategy if they prefer to minimize their upfront investment and plan to refinance in a few years, especially with potential interest rate cuts from the Fed this year.At the end of the day, it’s all about investing in a growing market, selecting a solid neighborhood, and building a strong team to support you.

Well, of course it depends on the individual circumstances, the amount of time comitted and the capital available.

I would still prefer residential these days though. 

Quote from @Alyssa Dinson: Hi everyone, I live in California and have been meeting a lot of investors who prefer to invest out of state due to California being so expensive as well as the aggressive tenant protection laws we have here.

Preferably stay for one year and find another house.

The issue is not the contract, the issue is going to be enforcing the contract, the individual who was selling this could hold this up for years and cost you tens of thousands in legal fees, and then they file bankruptcy and stall it another 5 years.

I'm excited to join this group of like-minded individuals passionate about real estate investing. 

With investment properties, most lenders I work with prefer to have an address to work with in order to provide a "soft" quote, which does not include a hit to your credit.
